Custom menu items - directly add playlists?

So I just started to play around with Custom menus on the homescreen. Currently, you can add anything that is set as a Favourite. Could we also get a way to add playlists directly? For an example, Night you can add Favorites and/or playlists to the homescreen.

Yeah, also, when I do it by adding it to favorites, the problem I have is the only action is to play the playlist when it is selected and not just view it. For example, I have a smart playlist for kids movies and I'm trying to add a menu with the playlist directly off the homescreen, but when i select it, it just starts playing it. I'd like to just be able to view it instead.

I have some issue with favorites and custom menu on home window but I dont know is it bug (xbmc bug or T! bug) or its only me
But I can say that same issue get my friend too
Whey I make my custom menu and I associate it with existing favorite (witch is btw folder located on D:/ disc)
i get some kind of "share error massage" witch tells me that path is incorrect and cant find location.
I get same error massage when I tray to open it through "favorites" menu.
I make that favorite through "file manager". Addons putted in favorites works good, its happen only with folder/file locations...

I'm in the same boat using the favourites script. It used to work in a way that let you add your video playlist favourites as shortcut items that could be viewed. However now the script replaces activatewindow with playmedia for video playlists. Would it not be simpler to just change that back around for video playlists?

well, you're running the favourites script like this right?
XBMC.RunScript(script.favourites,playlists=play)

change it to
XBMC.RunScript(script.favourites,playlists=window)
to get the old behaviour back.

the playlist=* option was broken in previous versions of script.favourites

I hope that you would leave things as they are now Ronie. Either that or make it a selectable option to either play immediately or view the listing. I prefer the way it is now, to Play now. Please don't change back video playlist to activatewindow.

Also...is the new option to add a playlist to the homescreen in the current download now?

Thanks,

play is still the default setting.
i only added an option to change it to view if you want to.
